Goals Goals and More Goals. A goalie too!

We had another busy hockey weekend and it was fun fun fun. Poppy had 2 games and Frudoch had but 1. But what a game it was. Poppy had a really good game on Saturday with a couple goals and lots of heads up play. Sunday morning she took her stint as goalie again and once again was tough. She let a few through, but her team did a great job of scoring goals and playing defense. In fact one of her teammates who does not like girls told me that she plays goalie really well(for a girl). He also thought she was the best girl goalie around. High praise indeed. we returned a few hours later for Frudoch's game and he got off to a fast start with a couple goals in the first period. He worked hard trying to get that elusive third goal for the rest of the game and came close several times before finally(!) getting that third goal for the hat trick! His game was much more physical and he stayed with it as several team members were not able to play so the shifts were long. Now we have 2 games next weekend for him and a game for poppy before both go to tournaments the following weekend. For the season its about 15 goals. From the same kid that struggled to get one all of last year. Its a good feeling.
